Branan Field-Chaffee Expressway

Crews form the barrier wall on the new northbound bridge over Interstate 10 on February 29, 2008.
A worker adds the finishing touch to the barrier wall on the new northbound bridge over Interstate 10 on February 29, 2008.
New lanes are paved in the median on Interstate 10 at the Halsema Road overpass to make room for the new shoulder and ramps that will access the new Branan Field-Chaffee interchange.
Sod along the corridor is watered regularly to keep it green. Sodding during construction helps stabilized the embankment.
The bridge columns at the new BFC Interchange are in various stages of construction.
New World Avenue will connect to the Brannan Field Chaffee Expressway (SR 23) once construction is complete. Until then it is a great place to dry your wings!
Crews build up the dirt (or subgrade) in order to place a limerock base and eventually pave the new roadway between New World Avenue and Normandy Boulevard.
New concrete pipes will be installed beneath Normandy Boulevard while metal pipe will be installed along side Normandy Bouleavard to make up the new drainage system.
The new drainage structure is plugged until the new pipe is nstalled beneath Normandy Boulevard.
A new four-box, box culvert has been installed just north of Normandy Boulevard to accomodate water flow.
Geogrid is used beneath the soil to help stabilize the area near Normandy Boulevard.
Three wildlife crosssing are being constructed beneath the new expressway to provide safe passage from one side to the other.

I-10/I-95 Interchange

The I-10/ I-95 Interchange project will not only increase the capacity of the Interchange but will also increase safety and efficiency by reducing and/or eliminating many of the current cross-lane weaving movements that drivers must negotiate as they use the current interchange. Forest Street will be widened to accommodate the new interstate access ramps. Information courtesy of the project website at <a href='http://www.thebigi.info'>www.thebigi.info</a>.
